    need help with custom made 3/16 galv cable with spade bolt

    When i was in parts supply there were varoius places that did this sort of thing. Wire rope industries comes to mind. 3/16” cable and ferrules can be purchased at any farm supply, may need thimbles too. Spade bolt is another story. I have done crimps in the vise. Linesman knots are easy also...

    Really slick cab heater, Jeggs

    Up here in the dead of winter, recirculating inside air causes windows to instantly fog. So its 100% outside air unless recirc is selected. Same goes with my 1980 dodge truck. 1965 barracuda also 100% outside air. So no, not even partial inside air is typically used. Its awesome you can find...

    fire wood processors

    Thats where we started. A mitre bench. Buddy kept sawing through it. We burn softwood up here and rarely that big. Those blocks have too much gravity for my liking. Tamarack thats well seasoned burns pretty clean and very hot.

Next year i think they will be spooling up and getting into some seroius cutting. I built a simple bench...

    Fencing Project: Saws and fasteners

    Forgot to add, a spring in the bit retainer broke in my impact driver. I bought 5 for only a few dollars and now have spares. But a little silicone grease seems to have helped.

    Smart guys

    Also, humans are creatures of habit. I mow the edge of my driveway,never blowing clippings onto the gravel. So the right outer blade sees more gravel than the rest i would think. I do hear it pick up the stones before i pick deck up a notch.
